AlfredoE Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Melo scored 19 points, rest of starters 10 points. Someone check Spike Lee's pulse. EDIT: Now I'm kind of hoping both Brooklyn and New York continue to struggle because there's probably some fans who don't know that they don't have high draft picks in 2014, so when the NBA draft occurs, ESPN's gotta recap those decisions and let us hear the boo birds as Denver and Atlanta make their picks. Should be a fun draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Masai Ujiri is a fucking wizard. Rudy Gay has been traded to the Kings for John Salmons, Vasquez, Patterson and Hayes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Celtics could not miss a shot. somehow how they are now 10-12 and still leading the division. I will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Someone tweeted this and I nearly spit out my drink. Raptors right now are at #8 in the lottery. I kind of like Vasquez in that deal. If Chuck Hayes were an expiring deal, I think Ujiri could flip him to a West contender since his one asset is defending bigs well. Salmons could help keep that shot chart up there alive. Good deal by Ujiri. Rudy Gay with Cousins should be fun for many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I am all for marketing the two of them together as Gay Cousins. Which also sounds like it should be a cop show on Logo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Gay could opt out which would be good for the Kings. It would also be bad for the Kings because it would mean that Rudy Gay would sacrifice 20 million guaranteed to GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I can't imagine Gay opts out. No way he gets 19.whatever million on the open market, right? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 No but he's still fairly young so he could get a better longer term deal this off-season then in a year from now if he has another bad year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoE Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Raptors beating Lakers on Kobe's return. I think I'm more surprised that the Rudy Gay deal might have had a reverse reaction for the Raptors and now they might start rolling back to the top of the Atlantic Division. All they would need is like a 2 game winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Kobe didn't look particularly great, and I think the bar was set a little too high. He was good defensively, but he was a turnover machine tonight (9 pts, 8 TOs.) I think they should have kept him out of the fourth quarter. Xavier was having a great game, and they take him out to see if Kobe could play hero, and he was just too rusty for that. The starters were all HORRIBLE tonight. Considering how much better Memphis was once Gay was traded, it would be funny if the same thing happened to Toronto too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Rudy Gay is maybe the least enjoyable player to watch in the NBA. That dude just sleepwalks through games and is the king of pounding the ball for 18 seconds before launching a fadeaway 20-foot brick. He's in a lot of ways the last of an era -- the new stat head guys that are running the show want efficiency above all else. A lot of players have picked up on that and have realized the best way to secure a good payment from a winning team is to play as efficiently on both sides of the court as possible. Not Rudy, though. He's still in the 1998-2002 frame of mind where a guy's agent could just point to any GM and say "My man's averaging 20" and get himself a huge contract.Rudy and Cousins together are going to rule. I'm eagerly watching Rudy's debut on Wednesday to see the glare on Cousin's face the first time Rudy takes one of those awful shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The NBA TV guys are saying "expectations were too high" for Kobe's return. Did ANYBODY really expect him to come back from this, shout "here I come to save the day!" in his first game back and score 30? If they did, they're a moron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mco543 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think some of you guys are underestimating just how incredibly stupid some of the NBA GMs are regarding Rudy's next contract. I'm not sure if he'll get 19m but I'm sure he'll get an amount from some desperate team that will make RealGM meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much better Memphis was once Gay was traded, it would be funny if the same thing happened to Toronto too. Pau has been playing really well and then had a horrible game. Bad thing for Pau is his bad games, really look bad and they usually happen when a lot of eyes are on the game. He had a good game against Sacramento, but I don't think anyone really watched that game. Starting Power Forward is the weakest link on this team. They've been able to find value players to fill out other positions, but that seems to be a spot were they've tried guys who are better suited as centers or Shawne Williams, who is best used as a backup PF. If you thought tonight was rough, they play Phoenix next and he's going to have to chase around Dragic and/or Bledsoe! You think that's gonna be rough, wait until Steve Nash returns and then you'll really see some bad defense. Point guards always kill the Lakers no matter who our guards are and no matter who the opposing guards are. Its a tradition here.

I'm not sure if he'll get 19m but I'm sure he'll get an amount from some desperate team that will make RealGM meltdown. Knicks would sign him. There's about 4-5 teams I think would still sign him to something like 3 years $30-36 million, including the Kings possibly extending him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
